A Realization Of JOY.

I frequent 2 local Mavericks. And really for only one thing. A huge diet pepper. Many times I have my cup with me to refill. Many times I pay the full price. But besides the diet pepper, there is one other thing that has remained consistent. The men.

Don't worry. This is a good post!

Whenever there is a man in front of me or behind me, going in or out of the door, they ALWAYS hold the door. Always. Okay. Maybe once a guy went in right in front of me and didn't hold the door. But every single other man has. Just think about it. Women's lib has all but destroyed a woman's chance of being adored and treated with great respect. But at Maverick, I beg to differ. How can you not find Joy in that?!

Just today, a man walked through the front door just as I was getting out of the Durango. And when I got to the door, he came back and opened it for me. Do you see? How do you not find Joy in that?!

So I will continue to frequent Maverick. For the diet pepper. And for the men.

By the way, I am way lucky enough to be married to just such a man! And that gives me even more Joy!

Jason used to say..."women are all feminists until you wait for men to open the door for you." I am a feminist and yet- appreciate these gestures. And- I return the favor...often opening doors for men....esp. men with children.

About Me

I am wife to a hard working man and a hard working mom to 3 kids. Daniel and I have 2 sons through the miracle of biology and a daughter through the miracle of adoption. Isaac, Samuel and Ruthann are our kiddos who we love and adore. Why, you may ask, is it "With 6 You Get Eggroll"? Well, I don't know about the 6, but eggrolls are a welcome addition to any meal and who doesn't love Doris Day?!
